Pittsburgh Pirates designated hitter Andrew McCutchen continued his strong hitting stretch in the most recent game vs. the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. McCutchen saw an 83.1 mph slider over the middle of the plate from Tigers right-handed pitcher Keider Montero and hit it 383 feet out into the left field seats for a solo home run in the top of the third inning. This was the third home run of the game for the Pirates at this point, as second baseman Nick Gonzales also hit a solo home run and third baseman Jared Triolo hit a two-run home run, both in the top of the third inning, with McCutchen giving the road team a 4-0 lead.
